The Lancashire Fold today's disgusting behaviour.

[Ourman]

So after having to return to Manchester from France for a few days due to a death in the family I was thinking I could watch the match in the pub.
The closest to us was the Lancashire Fold in Alkrington so we set off early so we'd get a table as there were 8 of us. We were there at 1.30 pm, we had food, and multiple drinks in the area the staff told us was for the City match, sometime later a sign was put up saying we were in the right place.
We watched the match with other City fans, then started to watch the farewell for Bernardo, Johnny Stones and Pep.
When it got to Peps farewell the bar staff turned the TV over to arsenal's trophy lift. When we shouted over in complaint the bar staff laughed at us. It's not like anyone was really watching the other TVs showing arsenal.
At least four of us were asking for it back on.
This isn't what I would expect from a what I have always been told was a pub that catered for City fans.

Shitty behaviour. Did you ask to speak to the manager?

We just walked, as did the other blues who were watching. I'm sure it'll get back to the management if the pub's as blue friendly as I've been told.

Time for some grim reviews on google etc?

It's where the Alkrington Branch meet. We're there on Wednesday. The landlady Lisa is usually spot on. Shame to hear that.

Maybe it’s worth writing to the manager / proprietor.

That way, you can get your message across in your own time and words.

A review on TripAdvisor is always an option. One star. Negative comments about staff.

Tbh it's some of my families local, who told me Lisa was great, unfortunately we couldn't see her around and the others in the group wanted to leave in disgust. I thought if I put it on here it would get back to her as I'm back to France tomorrow.

If it were done against fans of another club, we'd all call it top shithousery.

Should of smashed the gaff up, im joking.

She's an Arsenal fan

They run a couple of coaches out of there.
But Lisa is an Arsenal fan and I assume the City lads were still at the ground

Should’ve just gone to the Roebuck

As an update, my wife has contacted the Fold via Facebook and we have had an apology, with the explanation the they didn't know that the tributes were being broadcast
